- Beinn Alligin from Liathach
Perfect blue skies and Beinn Alligin was just shouting out to us. Parked at the car park above Torridon House and headed up the track on the east side of the river in Coire Mhic Nobuil. Crossed the river and followed the branch of the path northwards towards the Horns of Alligin. There was a lovely scramble up dry rocks to a point where the path branches to pass over or under the 'Horns'. Little Mitzi had to be lifted up the bigger steps so we opted to save time and follow the very exposed path under the pinnacles.

The path then runs up a ridge to the higher of the two Munros, Sgurr Mhor.

Had been wondering how we were supposed to cross the great cleft of Eag Dubh when viewed from Liathach on the previos day but all was revealled as we moved on and found ourselves crossing behind it!

A long walk along a not very scary ridge took us to the other Munro, Tom na Gruagaich. Lots more food.

I had been worrying about the steep path in Coir' nan Laogh in case it was loose scree but those industrious path builders had been there before me and it was more of a staircase for the descent.

Now the view of the Liathach ridge is so good I'm annoyed I didn't go there today!!
